Three groups contacted @mhs ahead of time to see if they could purchase tickets for their leagues/tournaments. We said it was fine to do so for promotional reasons, but they had to be purchased when tickets went on sale during the rush.

I think I know where you’re going with this - as long as the ticket was purchased the same way as all the others (looks like it was) then the only issue I see is with the non-transferrable nature of Pinburgh tickets. Exceptions can be made I guess?

Yeah, there were two Swiss players I read about (either here, or on Pinside) that ended up on the waiting list even though they won a promotion for tickets because they couldn’t secure them when tickets went on sale.

I would guess that because tickets are not transferable, waitlist spots aren’t either. Doesn’t seem fair otherwise.

I’m curious about how the prize tickets will work if the winner either already has a ticket or can’t go. Will the winner get to designate someone to take their place or will they have to forfeit the prize? Will the promotion organizers choose an alternate or will it go to the next person on the waitlist?
